So it would have been nice to see Dolby Vision turn up on the PS5’s 4K Blu-ray player too. Albeit in a rather clumsy way (see this review of the Sony X1100ES for more details). Sony’s previous two generations of standalone 4K Blu-ray player have, though, supported Dolby Vision. Sony has never supported HDR10+ with any of its TVs or standalone 4K Blu-ray players, so I guess it would have been optimistic to expect this format to turn up on the PS5. films, you'll be wanting the PS5 that supports disc playback!

After all, even if only a small percentage of those new console owners stumble upon 4K Blu-ray’s charms, it should lead to far more robust sales of 4K Blu-ray movie discs and, therefore, a much more certain long-term future for a physical media industry ravaged by the convenience of video streaming. With most manufacturers having now left the standalone 4K Blu-ray player market, and even those that remain showing little interest in refreshing their ranges, fans (like myself) of physical media relish the prospect of the PS5 and Xbox Series X leading to 4K Blu-ray players being installed in tens of millions more homes than they were before. That said, Sony’s decision to include a 4K Blu-ray player in the PS5 potentially has far reaching consequences for the home entertainment landscape. The support in the disc-carrying version of the PS5 for the latest and greatest video disc format is just a welcome home cinema bonus. Sony’s latest console is, of course, first and foremost a gaming machine. As with the 4K Blu-ray player built into the Xbox Series X, the one built into the disc drive-carrying version of the PS5 is not and was never intended to be its star attraction.
